Too Large Events

For some evio files, the events are too large. The errors are:

The gcard is limited in what it records for HITS.

 <option name="BANK_VERBOSITY" value="1"/>
        <option name="HIT_VERBOSITY" value="1"/>
        <option name="LOG_VERBOSITY" value="2"/>
        <option name="G4TRACK_VERBOSITY" value="2"/>
        <option name="G4P_VERBOSITY" value="2"/>
        <option name="GEN_VERBOSITY" value="2"/>
        <option name="SAVE_ALL_MOTHERS" value="2"/>
        <option name="ENERGY_CUT" value="-1"/>
        <option name="RECORD_PASSBY" value="1"/>

The variable in the evio2root files for such events are unsigned integer (uint32_t) of values 0 to 4294967295. Each value is stored in binary bits, i.e. 2^0=1, 2^1=2 -> 3 decimal = 0011. Since it is unsigned this limits the value stored to only be positive values.

The value above has the hex value of entry=0x7f6162e57e40 76f6162e57e40 hex=2092788898692672 dec

2092788898692672-4294967295=2092784603725377 which is over the size of the 32bit variable. We could edit the entire evio read program structure for a 64bit variable or ignore just that specific Theta-Momentum pair. The output of the Shield in may have more DC interactions, but the effect of the shield still blocks electrons regardless if it is on or off. The plots shown earlier and the paper show there isn't much difference. Simulations will be done with the FT OFF.

For Shield IN/OFF -1xTorus Field we still get a too large event.

We know the file

OPENED FILE : LH2_0Sol_-1Tor_11GeV_IsotropicPhi_ShieldIn_081/LH2_0Sol_-1Tor_11GeV_IsotropicPhi_ShieldIn_081.evio

and the event number+1

eventnum=eventnum entry=272

which causes the error. Since the random number sequence is set in the gcard, we can edit the LUND file and insert new values for the Moller electron (all 0).

273event #*3lines per event=819 line number

The random number sequence hopefully continues without more too large DC hit numbers.
